A month of fun..

I've been a horrible blogger lately. Wow.. time just gets away from me.  We've had a good August.. can't believe its almost over!  It's been a hot, busy and fun month.  Here's a few pics from the past few weeks as I try to catch up on life..

Sweet sisters playing one morning..

We took a family trip to the waterfall down the street.  B loved getting her toes wet and was fascinated by it.

We celebrated my birthday the night before with my mom and Nanny at Cracker Barrel.  

My birthday was a few weeks ago and it was another good one.  The big 35! Wow.. mom took the girls and I to lunch and then I got to spend the afternoon running around and getting my toes done while the girls took naps.  That night, my parents took us to dinner since Jamie was working late.  Hopefully soon, the hubs and I can celebrate.  I can't wait to use my gift certificate to the spa that Jamie gave me...I hope to make a full day out of it soon!!

The girls and I on my birthday

We have also been using essential oils on our feet and B is loving it and so is Mags.  This one is peace and calming and it helps the girls to sleep better.  There is something for all ailments and I am loving trying them all out on me too.  They really do work! Thank you to my bestie for telling me all about them.

We had a play date with our cousins, Reagan and Kendal.  B and R had fun playing kitchen and eating lunch together.  Love that our girls get to grow up together and they are not too far away from us.  

B and R are 3 months apart and Maggie and Kendal are 4 months apart.  Sweet girls!

We took a trip to the zoo last week with our friends The Sumners.  It wasn't too hot and it wasn't crowded since school is back in.  It actually started to rain on us as we were getting ready to go.  We had a fun day! Love sweet friends like these.

Burkleigh decided a few weeks ago that she wanted her toes and nails painted.  I've tried to do it before but she would have NOTHING to do with it.  So, I just waited.  She doesn't really like you to mess with her hands or feet so I was really shocked when she brought me the nail polish and said, "Like Momma's."  So sweet.. such a big girl!

We've been sporting some pontytails lately and I love them!  We've had a couple of fun pool days out back!

Mags liked it too!

We also took our first trip to the McWane Center with our friends Carson and Ella Grace and Emmalyn.  We had a fun day playing together!

I love this pic of the girls..  soo sweet!

Burkleigh starts MDO for the first time in a few weeks.  We go this week to meet the teacher.  I'm praying it all goes smoothly.. I know its going to be difficult on both of us, mainly on B but I think it will be good for us.  If you think about it, say a little prayer for us on Thursday morning.  We've gone to the school several times and played on the playground and I keep talking to her about school and how much fun she is going to have.  We're gonna go to the bookstore this week and get some "school books too and I hope it won't be as tramatic as I think it might be.  I'm just not sure she's so ready for this but when are we ever.  Being a mommy is hard!!
